Sometimes - a lot of times - most times - okay,
all the time - when I look in the mirror I get very downhearted. It seems as though it takes a lot of product and effort to get me together to face the world and the results are not very encouraging. No matter how hard I try, I never look like a star. But then I remember that a star did not always look like a star. I'd like to think that, with a team of industrial strength beauticians giving me the Star Treatment, the same results could be achieved for me and I could be transformed from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
Here are a few that needed just a little assistance to achieve that "extra" something:
Greta Garbo:
Before the Star Treatment
 |
| No so impressive, is she? |
After the Star Treatment:
 |
| Much better, no? |
Marlene Dietrich:
Before the Star Treatment
 |
| Umm...not quite..... |
After the Star Treatment
 |
| There she is! |
The Star Treatment is not just reserved for foreign actresses who might not have the advantages of American Glamor. Here are a few American gals who needed the Treatment:
Joan Crawford:
Before the Star Treatment:
 |
| Not her best look |
After the Star Treatment
 |
| Glamor Puss |
Lana Turner:
Before the Star Treatment
(Yes - she needed a little assistance)
 |
| to go from this..... |
 |
| to this! |
Rita Hayworth
Even a goddess needs a hand. Before the Star Treatment:
 |
| a pretty enough girl |
After the Star Treatment
 |
| They did a good job with this one! |
The guys are not immune to a make-over, either. A good haircut (both head and facial) as well eye makeup and lighting can do wonders.
John Gilbert
Before the Star Treatment
 |
| an ordinary fellow |
After the Star Treatment
 |
| Wow! |
Clark Gable:
Before the Star Treatment
 |
| Not bad, but not quite royalty |
After the Star Treatment
 |
| His Majesty, The King |
James Cagney
Before The Star Treatment
 |
| Not so tough... |
After the Star treatment. As Lady Gaga can tell you, a little eye makeup can make you look fierce...
 |
| You've got my attention! |
Even Lassie needed some help!
Before the Star Treatment:
 |
| No one is immune to a bad hair day |
After the groomer works his magic
 |
| Ready for my close-up! |
So, I face each day looking like a "before" picture, but I just
know that if MGM would send those beauticians to my house and follow me all day with the proper lighting, I, too, could look like a star!

If MGM sends the team, please be sure you call me to come over. I could use some help too.
When the hair & make-up team gets here, I'll let you know. Hopefully, wardrobe will come, too (and not empty-handed!).
Thank you for your blog-it's a fun read! Love the pics and the pep.
Your 'BEFORE AND AFTER" the star treatment is priceless. I look forward to your future features.
